wait, wait.

goran’ashir with sisko having to read over the fuck form on his desk confirming that jem’hadar are technically safe to have sex with, caveated by extensive notes on internal damage, preparation requirements, and even the chemical composition of their ejaculate fluid.

none of which sisko has ever really wanted to know, but hey, nobody can say bashir isn’t meticulous and attentive in his job!

Would you like to take a few moments to feel very powerful?

Go to the website of your local library.

Find their online resources- for my library it is under “resources”, then “online partners.”

First of all, there is likely an online digital library that is far larger than any one building could hold- you’re welcome.

But what WE are looking for is something that mentions “periodicals.”

Look for “Marvel.” Look for “EBSCO” look for “Explora.” Any of those will do, and I am sure other areas have other names for their search engines.

The point is you click over and find yourself looking at a database for encyclopedias, magazines, articles, journals and more. A research database.

My dude- my literate civilians- my people who thirst for knowledge-

This is holding the collective academic knowledge of the world in your hands.

I am currently looking at the US census for my county, with another tab open to collegiate scientific papers.

Like- this is ALL the stuff they say is behind paywalls and hidden behind the absolute JUNK Google spits out.

I’m pretty sure I can-

Would you look at that? 😁

New York Times- articles in the last couple weeks, from US and international versions (see pic below- check the dates)

They opened up to full text, with related articles from other publications on a list to the side.

THIS is the power they are hiding from you, and why they are slashing funding to Libraries.

I have not felt so powerful since college, when I had easy access to research databases like this.

You know… I don’t think I could even get to as much then????

Go use your library! Gain knowledge! Fight Power!

You’re welcome. ☺️

I get so frustrated when people say that young children don’t use contractions. Young children use contractions all the time BUT they use them as a single unit. So while an adult understands “don’t” as the contracted form of “do not,” a young child understands “don’t” as its own word, inseparable into parts, and that’s FAR more interesting from a developmental linguistics standpoint. “Young children don’t use contractions.” Are you being for real right now? When’s the last time you talked to a child? Young children say “wanna” all the time and that’s a contraction of “want to.” A classic little kid utterance is “I don’t wanna.”

Anyway write young child dialogue with contractions in it. It’s good for you.

Publicly available datasets are being removed from federal websites so if you rely on fed data for your job, thesis, dissertation, etc, go pull it now for safekeeping. CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index Data just got pulled from ATSDR. That’s the most widely used zip code data for public health analysis of how factors like poverty, health insurance access, education level, race/ethnicity, English proficiency, etc affect health outcomes.

Environmental databases and health databases have already been pulled.

For the record, these databases are part of how places like “cancer corridors” have been identified in the past. Where companies target low income minority communities for placement of poorly regulated chemical plants and cancer rates skyrocket. They know these communities don’t have the legal resources or media connections to fight the plant development and often academics are the only ones who can assist by proving the correlation years later.

Regarding the character of the Hospitaller - did you come across any historical characters in your reaserch that he could have been based on? Not that I'm considering writing a fanfic and need a name, no no no no...

Ahh I wish I had an answer for you! You've probably come across Ridley Scott's comment that the Hospitaller is supposed to be an angel, a thing we in the fandom seem to have accepted as canon. But other than that, there's no historical figure that would fit 100%. If you absolutely needed one, I suppose you could say that he might be Roger de Moulins, the Grand Master of the Knights Hospitaller - although that would kind of contradict the "just one knight among many" vibes that they gave him in the film.

That said, if it's just a question of naming, please do go hog-wild - there are so many weird medieval first names out there, you're almost guaranteed to find something cool. I'd recommend in particular looking at lists of medieval French, Occitan, and German names; they're a lot of fun, both semantically and phonetically.

Also not to be biased or anything, but I'd love to read a fanfic about the Hospitaller - he's such a fascinating yet totally underrated character!

The old research squad all have special slightly illigal information acquiring skills: Tim with flirting and manipulating people (mostly police officers) into telling him stuff, Sasha with hacking and well Martin never worked in research (i do think Sasha did between artifact storage and the archieves) and is mentioned to not have the right credenciais and while that likely means the most formal things like writing proper reports, typos and random academic information it makes sense at least in season one that he doesn't have a research problematic skill but that still raises the question what was Jon special and slightly illigal research skill and my suggestion is: invading private property.

All of them do it, but Jon is the one that has the most sucess in doing it without being caught ( I mean "suplemental I invaded Gertrude's house" and I just rly don't remember he being caught once) also there is a non-zero chance that the reason the cops were the ones returning wandering baby Jon back to his grandma was because at eight and younger he was already invading places.

ppl defending ai art by completely ignoring the genuine major issues that people have with it and pretending like ppl r just mad because they're Art Elitists and think that art should only be made through Suffering instead of being easy are some of the most embarrassing ppl tumblr has been recommending to me lately

the tdsb doesnt want you to know this but they provide access to sooo many research databases. which are technically password protected. but the tdsb in its infinite wisdom also publishes the passwords in a google doc which you can freely find on their website. phenomenal. it reminds me of that old meme of the soldiers trying to bash in a door thats locked with a cheeto. these are the people that provided me with 12 years of schooling btw
